Many of us in the church still struggle with sin and addictive behavior. We may find it hard to believe that Jesus can give us total freedom from those addictions here on earth. I find much comfort knowing that, when I look at my own weaknesses and past failures, God can still fill me with …Continue reading –>

Three weeks ago I was writing about how our community service centers provide practical ways for us to worship God, and serve the community.
